One thing I didn't get - if Bruce Wayne has been Caped Crusading for twenty years, fighting the Joker, responding to Bat-Signals... why is he 'the Bat Vigilante in Gotham' who's newsworthy all of a sudden?
[sblock]Lex was manipulating Bats with those notes and stuff, and driving his paranoia up. As such, Bats was getting more violent; he was branding people. Even Alfred was disturbed, talking to Bruce about how Bruce's feelings of helplessness in the face of gods "drives good men... cruel".[/sblock]
